The Folded Clock: A Diary by Heidi Julavits
5.0
"In most couples there is the person who wins and the person who doesn't. The winner isn't necessarily stronger or smarter or righter. The winner is the person who won't give up, and the non-winner ("loser" is not the correct word for the person who does not win), at a certain point, realizes the battle is a silly one, and the spoils are not worth the extended warfare." Just one of the gems from Heidi Julavits; I must have highlighted a dozen passages and added insightful notes like "YES! Totally!"
RE-READ in 2019: This book of short essays kept me company every evening at bedtime for two straight weeks. Each one is short and satisfying. I highlighted even more this time around, and cried three times (I didn't have kids last time, and the essay about memorizing the curve of her son's back as she rubbed it straight wrecked me.)
"If I underline a sentence, I temporarily own it. It’s mine." - Heidi Julavits
